Speaking during the graduation of the unified forces in Juba on Tuesday, Al Burhan who is also the chairperson of Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD) which mediated the revitalized peace agreement said his country will continue to support the parties for genuine implementation of the agreement.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe stand with the people of South Sudan in which situation you face, we stand side by side in the quest and in our efforts to have peace and stability between our people,\u201d the Sudanese military leader said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is our conviction as we all stand shoulder to shoulder with you and the region to make our contribution to making peace, promote economically and establishing strong relations for the benefits of our people,\u201d al Burhan added.<\/p>\n

In a statement, Yakani who is also the Executive Director of Community Empowerment for Progress Organization (CEPO) welcomed the remarks by the Sudanese leader and described it as encouraging and motivational.<\/p>\n

\u201cCEPO welcomes the statement of the head of Sudan\u2019s Sovereign Council, Gen. Abdel Fathah Al-Burhan pledging continued support for South Sudan peace process. This is encouraging and motivational since Sudan is the sitting chair of IGAD,\u201d the activist said.<\/p>\n

Yakani who this month won a continental award for peace activism said he is impressed by the pledges from the Sudanese leader and said he would invest his time in following up the continued Sudanese engagement with the parties in South Sudan.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is impressive that Sudan\u2019s president is demonstrating commitment to support the peace process in South Sudan. We are interested to follow the pledge for support of the peace agreement implementation since we Sudan is chair of IGAD chair,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cSudan as chair of IGAD should increase its role in making the implementation of the R-ARCSS genuine. South Sudan leaders require continuous pressure from IGAD\u2019s leadership,\u201d Yakani stressed, adding that \u201cthe IGAD leadership should conduct brainstorming sessions on the next key milestones in the adopted roadmap.\u201d<\/p>\n
